Not everything in the Bible is "scriptural", nor are all the "scriptural" elements in the Bible of interest to all Christians."

But all of Scripture is in the Bible. At least to most Christians.

"When it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, where the Bible has text that differs from their vision of "scripture" they rewrite it!"

They're subjectivists like you! :)

"I suspect you are trying to apply a traditional Jewish approach to the Torah to what Christians think of as the Bible."

No, I am saying what Christians believe.

"Christians simply do not handle the Bible the same way traditional Jews do the Torah. "

And yet they believe it is objectively true.

"Besides their being different books (or collections of books), we really do have two different religious traditions involved."

That's nice, but irrelevant to what I said.

"It is not possible to discuss the Bible as Torah with any Christians I know of unless the Christian Hebrews do that, and I know some of them, and I don't recall them doing so."

But you can discuss it as objective truth with no problems.
